Murdered by words
I love this. I recently had someone from Indonesia apologize for their English which, as often is the case was fantastic. I always tell people like that, I know one language, and you know more than one, never apologize for that.
Wasn't there a soccer/football player that called out a crowd for laughing at a fan trying to talk to him in the player's native language?
Cristiano Ronaldo
Most of the time I'd never have known they weren't native English writers if they didn't say so.
The coolest thing about Indonesian is that if that person can speak English, it's possible that they can speak three or more languages, as Indonesian people usually speak Bahasa Indonesia and their local language
Her native tongue was a smaller Chinese dialect. So, yeah she knew 3 or more languages. I think there was a 4th, but I'm forgetting what it was. Probably is Bahasa like you mention.
lol that's good
When I see fucked up English in a post, I'm split between assuming they don't use English as their primary language or that they're just fellow Americans.

You speak english because its the only language you know.
I speak english because its the only language you know.
We re not the same
ya
why ask
...when can make internet great again
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the OP speaks English because that's the language the knowledge is stored in?
Language is stored in the balls
No that's pee you idiot
What knowledge¿? If you mean all knowledge, do you think people who don't speak English possess no knowledge¿?
I'm guessing they mean that people usually think in their native tongue, so if they are native English speakers, their knowledge is English.
Another guess is that English is often a lingua franca, so society's knowledge is primarily in English.
Beyond that, no clue.
It was obviously about the knowledge that OP was specifically seeking. OP is communicating in English because the knowledge that OP wants is in English. OP could ask for that knowledge in their native language instead, but the knowledge that they specifically want is in English, so it wouldn't help them any.
English evolved as an amalgamation of Germanic and Roman languages which made it easier for western europeans to learn.
I'm pretty sure the popularity of American movies had a huge part in it aswell because that's how myself and most of the people i know learned english.
You guys helping to end WWII is also a fact that can't be ignored as it solidified our respect to the U.S. but those days are long gone unfortunately...
